Grub works fine with software RAID as long as it can find the physical location of the data; and in general you don't need a separate boot partition anymore. What you need, is to know how to set up GRUB to check one drive, and then the next, instead of one drive, and then the same drive with an older version. I have the info somewhere; perhaps I can do a presentation at the Riverside meet one day. Jeff -- Jeff Lasman, Nobaloney Internet Services P.O.
